SWIMMING AT COLOMA California gold discovery site
The beaches at Coloma Gleam golden in the
sun With tiny flecks of
metal. Though almost anyone Will tell you these are
fool's gold — The real no longer
here — Still, they with eyes for
seeing Can glimpse beside the
clear Cool rush of mountain
water, The men who searched
for gold; And when the beaches
empty Against the night, then
old Ghosts, long done with
violence, Stir in the golden air And small tired boys
dream homeward With gold dust in their
hair.
—Ruth F. Rockefeller
FATE
Fate is a wanton jade; she binds her bright hair with ribboned rue and beckons with promises
gone stale as old wine in a dingy
glass . . . she juggles time and laughs her Rabelaisian
laughter, she tells the heart to dare then turns away leaving heartbreak forever after.
— Alma Robison Higbee
PRISONERS OF THE MIND
Behind every smi'.ing lace. In the dim sub-cellars of
the mind Lie fettered, skeleton -like
figures Of unrequited loves and
hidden desires. What a dolorous -looking
company they are ! Pitiful reminders of what
might have been. There they lie; shackled
by inhibitions; Fed on husks of affection Stolen in unguarded moments. Still dormant they lie ! Half living, half dead. At nights when the guards
grow drowsy They knock on the door of
dreams Begging to be released.
— Gladys Allen Cummings
